ANOHNI HOPELESSNESS CATALOG #: SC333 ABOUT THE ALBUM RELEASE DATE : MAY 6, 2016 FORMAT: CD/LP/DIGITAL ANOHNI has collaborated with Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke on the artist's latest work, HOPELESSNESS . CD BOX LOT: 25 LP BOX LOT: 50 Late last year, ANOHNI, the lead singer from Antony and the Johnsons, released “4 DEGREES", a bombastic dance track celebrating global boiling and collapsing biodiversity. Rather than taking refuge in good GENRE: ALTERNATIVE intentions, ANOHNI gives voice to the attitude sublimated within her behavior as she continues to consume KEY MARKETS: NEW YORK CITY, LOS in a fossil fuel-based economy. ANOHNI released “4 DEGREES,” the first single from her upcoming album ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, OAKLAND, SAN HOPELESSNESS , to support the Paris climate conference this past December. JOSE, CHICAGO, SEATTLE, PORTLAND, BOSTON, AUSTIN, MINNEAPOLIS The song emerged earlier last year in live performances. As discussed by ANOHNI: "I have grown tired of grieving for humanity, and I also thought I was not being entirely honest by pretending that I am not a part of the problem," she said. “’4 DEGREES' is kind of a brutal attempt to hold myself accountable, not just TERRITORY RESTRICTIONS: ONLY AVAILABLE valorize my intentions, but also reflect on the true impact of my behaviors.” IN THE UNITED STATES, CANADA, MEXICO & CENTRAL AMERICA The album, HOPELESSNESS , to be released world wide on May 6th 2016, is a dance record with soulful VINYL NOT RETURNABLE vocals and lyrics addressing surveillance, drone warfare, and ecocide. A radical departure from the singer’s symphonic collaborations, the album seeks to disrupt assumptions about popular music through the collision of electronic sound and highly politicized lyrics. ANOHNI will present select concerts in Europe, Australia and the US in support of HOPELESSNESS this Summer. CD UPC: 656605033327 TRACK LIST SIDE A: SIDE B: 6. Obama 6 56605 03332 7 1.

Anohni: Miracle Now
ANOHNI: MIRACLE NOW EN INTRODUKTION TIL UDSTILLINGEN / AN INTRODUCTION TO THE EXHIBITION MAY 24 – AUGUST 5 2018 MIRACLE NOW “Does nature evolve, or does She just change? So much information can now be stored in a tiny space. Scientists have said recently that ancestral trauma changes our genome in detectable ways. I imagine that in the future we shall put a drop of water into a machine and it will reveal to us every moment that its atoms have ever ex- perienced, and every living and inanimate body that it has ever been a part of. When I first staged the play Miracle Now in 1995, my dream was that Nature would remem- ber every one of Her vanished faces, and that this knowledge would somehow inform Her next iteration. This was a hopeful idea to me, in the face of impending eco-col- lapse.” – ANOHNI “Nothing goes unrecorded. Every word of leaf and snowflake and particle of dew, as well as earthquake and avalanche, is writ- ten down in Nature’s book.” – John Muir, 1872 ANOHNI: “Where do we go when we die?” Nola Taylor: “Back to country.” – Conversation with Nola Taylor, Martu elder, Western Australian desert, 2015. Video Stills: Miracle Now, 1996/2018, ANOHNI/James Elaine MIRAKLERNES TID ANOHNI I NIKOLAJ KUNSTHAL Det er en stor ære at vise den første store Med udstillingen i Nikolaj Kunsthal håber vi soloudstilling med ANOHNI i Norden i at åbne op for spørgsmål og diskussioner Nikolaj Kunsthal. ANOHNI er bedst kendt omkring frigørelse, filosofi og miljø i en som musiker, men udtrykker en dybt en- bredere forstand – og ikke mindst håber vi, gageret tilgang til verden gennem sin visu- at miraklernes tid ikke er forbi endnu.

Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism: Anohni's
Sedlmayr: Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism 42 Power, Death and the Value of the Body in Late Capitalism: Anohni’s “Drone Bomb Me” GEROLD SEDLMAYR Technische Universität Dortmund, Germany Introduction Hopelessness The lead single of Anohni’s 2016 album , “Drone Bomb Me”, begins with a shocking imperative: the speaker demands that the addressee eliminate her by dropping 1 a bomb on her: “Explode my crystal guts / Lay my purple on the grass”. Surely, her forthright urge to die is eerie, unsettling. What is even more unsettling, though, is the fact that we are not given any explicit reasons which might help explain her motivation. Is she tired of living? If so, then she is willing to break one of the most potent taboos in our societies, namely the one forbidding suicide: suicide as an empty act, an act that is not simply meaningless within the larger order of things, but that in fact seems to threaten that larger order. Or may we categorise her death wish as self-sacrifice, the symbolic giving of life in order to ensure life? The question remains: why does she resist survival? In the following, Anohni’s song, as well as the video which accompanied its release, will be treated as symptomatic of the late-capitalist structure of feeling. Starting from Jean Baudrillard’s idea that power in contemporary consumer societies is based on the deferral of death, I will discuss how the aestheticized representation of postmodern drone warfare in “Drone Bomb Me” refers to, yet also extends, Michel Foucault’s analysis of modern disciplinary societies, particularly by reflecting on the status of the body and the value it can carry in late capitalism.

Volume I These days, labels such as classical, rock and pop mean less and less since young musicians frequently blur boundaries between genres. These young musicians have built an alternative musical universe. I construct five different categories to explore this universe. They are 1) circuits of alternate concert venues, 2) cross-genre collaborations, 3) alternative modes of musical groups, 4) new compositional trends in classical chamber music, and 5) new ensembles and record labels. ii In this dissertation, I aim to explore these five categories, connecting them to recent cultural trends in New York.

Psaudio Copper
Issue 41 SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2017 Welcome to Copper #41! The title isn't to announce a James Taylor retrospective---sorry to crush your hopes--- but is just what I see in today's weather reports. The Pacific Northwest, where I'm bound for a long-delayed vacation, is up in flames, along with many other parts of the tinder-dry US. Meanwhile, back in my former home of Florida...they've already had nearly two feet of rain, and Hurricane Irma is not even close to the state yet. Stay safe, everyone. I'm really pleased and excited to have Jason Victor Serinus back with us, with the first part of an intensive introduction to art song. Jason brings tremendous knowledge of the field, and provides plenty of recorded examples to listen to, and in the case of videos, watch. There are many stunning performances here, and I hope you enjoy this extraordinary resource. We'll have Part 2 in Copper #42. Dan Schwartz is again in the lead-off spot with the second in his series of articles on encounters–this one, with Phil Lesh and crew; Seth Godin tells us how control is overrated; Richard Murison hears a symphony; Duncan Taylor takes us to Take 1; Roy Hall tells about a close encounter of the art kind; Anne E. Johnson introduces indie artist Anohni; and I worry about audio shows (AGAIN, Leebs??), and conclude my look at Bang & Olufsen. Industry News tells of the sale of audiophile favorite, Conrad-Johnson; Gautam Raja is back with an amazing story that I think you'll really enjoy, all about Carnatic music, overlooked heritage, and the universal appeal of rock music; and Jim Smith takes another warped look at LPs.

The Grace of a Gesture Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Angelica Mesiti EM15
Already Fifty Years! The Grace of a Gesture Rafael Lozano-Hemmer Angelica Mesiti EM15 • BIAN Ryoji Ikeda Artur Zmijewski Printemps du MAC Nocturnes Magazine of the contemporain Musée d’art de Montréal Volume 25, Number 1 — Summer 25, 2014 Volume editorial | 1 In his classic work The Gift, French anthropologist Marcel Mauss theorizes and reflects upon the giver, the gift and the recipient: “The objects are never completely separated from the men who exchange them,” he writes tellingly. An indissoluble link between the giver and the gift— the gift being a part of the giver—makes the act of giving not as innocent a transaction as it might seem. Indeed, it creates a social bond and an obligation to reciprocate on the part of the recipient. It creates relationships. Reciprocity and exchange are the basis of friendship, perhaps also of just and prosperous societies. Ultimately, reciprocity promotes a better way of living. Photo: George Fok © 2013 The month of June marks the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Musée d’art con- temporain, a museum that grew out of the wishes, the enterprise and, perhaps most impor- tantly, the donations of collectors and artists. The Musée’s very inception is the result of the kindness of givers. The Grace of a Gesture is our sprawling homage to the builders and makers of the MAC, a celebratory exhibition comprising some 200 artworks donated over the last fifty years—a formal act of reciprocity, in the form of an exhibition, for the generosity of the museum’s many donors and supporters.
